'to hand in' is a phrasal verb. It is used instead of 'give' when something is given to someone in a position of authority.
For example you would:
'hand in your homework to your teacher'
or if you wanted to leave your job you would
'hand in your notice to your manager'
I hope this is helpful.

To add to this....
'should hand in' would be correct if it was a recommendation, but in your example it says it is a 'requirement' so it is not correct in this example.
